About
Hello! This is Ember whom I have been so blessed to have in my life the last 4 years after adopting him from a rescue from Baja Mexico. Ember had a difficult start in life and was terrified of everything so as his caretaker I strived to give him the best possible life I could, and we quickly bonded. We spent many hours on walks, going to the dog park, training and socializing with other humans and animals. His confidence grew as did his little goofy personality and enjoyed transitioning from a city dog to the outdoors.
Everything went well until a few years ago and I lost my job after a brain injury, life quickly changed for both of us and his stable environment quickly became anything but. We left Oregon and started a new life in Wichita however since being around cats, chickens and squirrels on a daily basis his prey drive has grown to a level that is no longer sustainable and unfortunately crossed a line with a cat. For the safety of other animals Ember needs to find a new home which I am unable to provide at this time.
He has been the best companion and friend so this is a very difficult decision but he deserves an opportunity at the best life possible. He has been an amazing friend so I want to ensure he goes to a loving home where he can continue to grow making new friends and memories. For the right match I’m willing to drive and meet you halfway as well as request you to make a contribution to your local animal rescue as a rehoming fee.
